as described

Hi, a bizarre bug has recently cropped up in LibreOffice on the latest
Tumbleweed release. (I'm not exactly sure when this regression appeared, but
it's not more than a few weeks.) I'm trying to create a new Writer document
from the standard template with the spellchecking language set to "Spanish
(Spain)". But now when I try to type the word "nosotros", I type "nos" and it
automatically changes it "nootros". Similarly when I try to type "queremos" I
type "que" and it changes it to "quremos". I go to type "hablando" and it
changes it to "halando". The only way to prevent this is to disable "Enable
word completion" in the AutoCorrect options. The menu option Tools >
AutoCorrect > While Typing makes *no* difference. 

It seems to have something to do with typing a word incorrectly and then later
try to type it correctly. For example, I typed the word "programacioon"
(incorrectly spelled), and then without correcting it or doing anything else I
again typed "pro" and it changes it to "prgrama".

There is also some weirdness with the AutoCorrect options under the "Word
Completion" tab. The language selector menu there is set to "English (USA)" and
it is greyed out, unchangeable. Then it shows Spanish words there in the list
despite being set to English.

*EDIT:* I just tried it with the spelling language set to English, and it's
doing the same thing. I type "something" correctly, and then the next time I
type "som" it turns it into "soething".
